Beijing began scheduling COVID-19 vaccinations for children aged 12 and older yesterday (Oct 18). As Jingkids reported back in August, the capital had cleared vaccines for use in 12- to 17-year-old locals and began administering them to kids aged 14, 15, and 16 on Jul 20. Now, however, both local and foreign passport holding teens can make an appointment to get the jab for free.

In anticipation of what will surely be an influx of expat teens making appointments, Beijing United Family Hospital (BJU) has made their booking system straightforward and transparent. Currently, BJU’s shots are only administered to those living or working in Chaoyang District at BJU’s hospital in Lido and the two clinics in Jianwai Diplomatic Residence Compound and Guangqumen Clinic.

To begin your booking, call BJU at 400 891 9191 and follow the instructions in the automated messaging system to receive the following text message.
